Abstract:

Aiming at resisting the man-in-the-middle attacks in the domain name system protocol, a lightweight solution was proposed.The scheme introduced certificate less signature algorithm, removed the difficult-to-deploy trust chain to improve the efficiency and security of authentication.By using symmetric encryption technology, the proposed solution ensured the confidentiality of the message and increase the attack difficulty.The theoretical analysis proved the proposed scheme can resist common man-in-the-middle attacks.Experimental comparison results show the scheme has better performance than similar schemes.

Key words: domain name system, man-in-the-middle attacks, certificate less signature
